    Ah, looks like that's another name for it. I remembered what I was thinking though, "Shatz"... wonder where that comes from.

    I've actually usually heard "Shatz" used when the ball goes all the way out the inlane: I thought it was more of an accidental shot or blown alley pass. But maybe that's not technically correct.

    HUO needs to stand for something else. Hope Ur Oblivious. That seems to be the more common connotation: I always see it used that way, ha.

    Is there a name for when you're lazily catching the ball just holding the flipper up, and it bounces up perfectly over the sling, past the inlane, and directly to the outlane?

    I've mastered that one, seems like it should have a name, or maybe I should come up with one.
